Artyom Ivanovich Kirpichenok is a Russian-Israeli historian, journalist, and Middle East expert known for his anti-Zionist writing and criticism of Israel. He disappeared on 2th August 2026, after landing at Ben Gurion airport from Yerevan.

Former Russian Duma deputy Daria Mitina stated on Telegram that the Shin Bet (Shabak) detained him, and a lawyer hired by his friends reportedly confirmed he is in Shin Bet custody; Israeli authorities have remained silent.

Russia's ambassador to Tel Aviv, Anatoly Viktorov, said the embassy is monitoring the situation but had received no requests from Kirpichenok's relatives, friends, or colleagues.
